Mesothelioma Cancer Diagnosis - Receiving the Result
The pathology report is very important since it will help your physician to determine treatment and to effectively manage your condition. If mesothelioma is diagnosed, it is important to know about the spread (stage) of the disease. Unfortunately only a very small number of mesothelioma cases are diagnosed in the early stages. The prognosis (the prediction of the probable course and outcome of the disease and the likehood of recovery) is poor in the case of mesothelioma. In fact a 5- year survival rate occurs in only about 14% of all the cases.
